Definitions
- This application relates to methods for mounting flat display screens, particularly plasma screens, in mobile facilities and particularly to methods for vibration isolation for plasma screens in ambulances, mobile hospitals, travel trailers and military vehicles.
- English patent GB 2,357,178A is directed to a mounting system for a plasma display screen that includes a housing which provides adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
- Japanese Published Patent Application Hei 8- 162028 A discloses gaskets between the panel end mounts to serve as cushioning elements.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,357,717 to Kennard, IN is directed to a vibration isolation device formed from a soft pliable substance into a stepped configuration.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,504,596 to You et al. discloses a liquid crystal device with stress-relieved corners to improve impact resistance.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,508,343 to Misaji et al. is directed to a vibration cancellation system incorporating a weight mounted in an elastic body.
- the prior art devices fail to teach how to mount a large flat glass screen in such a manner as to prevent breakage when mounted in moving vehicles such as ambulances, buses and aircraft.
- the object of this invention can be obtained by the use of a mounting system that provides limited freedom of movement.
- a system is provided to firstly suspend a flat display screen within two frames, the two frames being separated from each other by linear low-friction devices and dampers, and to further isolate the screen from the second frame on four sides by springs and dampers, and confining the direction of movement by linear low-friction devices at 90° to the first linear bearings.
- Fig 1 is a front elevation of a plasma screen mounting system according to the invention.
- Figs. 2A and 2B are cross-sectional views along lines A-A and B-B respectively.
- the mounting system provides means for movement of a screen in three dimensions using linear low-friction devices such as linear bearings and linear bushings to provide freedom of movement in each axial direction.
- linear low-friction devices such as linear bearings and linear bushings to provide freedom of movement in each axial direction.
- Tuned dampers such as dashpots are used to damp motion in each axis.
- Springs are employed to float the screen in each of two axis.
- the plasma screen is floated from an object of much greater mass, such a wall of an ambulance.
- the mounting system may be attached to the larger mass directly but more often will be attached using an unsprung bracket which allows the screen to be tilted.
- the objective is to limit or control acceleration of the screen when the larger mass is moved, especially when the large mass is accelerated quickly such as when a pothole is hit.
- Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the plasma screen and mounting system 1.
- An outer frame 3 is affixed to a wall directly or through a tilt mount (not shown).
- a linear guide shaft 15 for a linear low-friction device such as a linear bearing is attached to frame 3.
- a second frame 5 is mounted inside outer frame 3 and carries a plurality of linear bearing blocks 17 (the shaft and block may be reversed).
- the linear bearing blocks allow the second frame 5 to move in the z-direction relative to the outer frame 3 but constrain motion in the x- and y- directions.
- the movement is constrained by springs and dashpots 19A and 19B mounted in bracket 39. Two pairs are shown, at top and bottom; more may be used.
- the springs and dashpots (commonly referred to as coil-over-shocks) are mounted in pairs with opposite orientation that allows, when desired, to have different damping in one direction of movement.
- a sliding pad 7 surrounds and cradles plasma screen 13.
- the frame 5 and pad 7 are connected in various ways so as to allow free but damped movement in the x and y directions.
- Retaining brackets 9 are fitted between pad 7 and frame 5. At least one bracket is used per side. Needle bearings 31 separate the brackets from the pad and allow movement of the pad relative to the frame 5 to occur without binding.
- Multiple springs 29 A, 29B, 29C and 29D hold the retaining bracket and frame 5 apart.
- Linear low-friction devices such as linear bearings 21 connect restrain movement of brackets 9 and frame 2.
- Dashpots 23 damp the action of springs 29.
- a number of adjustable fastening means 25 attach the retaining bracket to the inner frame and provide both location in the x- or y- direction and means to adjust spring tension.
- Fig. 2A shows a cross-section of the mount system along line A-A and shows the location of linear bearings relative to the frame 5 and bracket 9, and linear bearing retaining collar 37.
- Front face cover 35 obscures the components of the mounting system from the observer of the screen.
- Fig 2B taken along line B-B, shows the mounting location of dashpot mounting bracket 39 for dashpot 19 on frame 5 and the relative orientation of dashpot 23 and coil spring 29 A.
- the coil springs 29 A which support the weight of screen 13, are expected to be greater in number and/or to have a higher spring rate than springs 29B that supports no weight at the top of the screen.
- the springs 29B may be slightly compressed to be responsive to small vertical movement of the screen.
- Springs 29C and 29D would, in most cases, be the same number and spring rate on each side and also slightly compressed.
- Linear bearings for example, include all linear low-friction devices that are available from numerous manufacturers and have numerous detail differences. For some applications, linear bushings are equally functional low-friction devices. Needle bearings 31 may be replaced with a low friction material such as Teflon. Springs, as illustrated in the drawings, are coil springs. Leaf springs are an obvious alternative and may be used one per side or in multiples. Hairpin springs are a suitable substitute for leaf springs and are equivalent depth which makes the mounting thin. Pneumatic, hydraulic and other more exotic springing means are suitable but cost prohibitive dampers or dashpots are described generically and include gas-filled, liquid- filled, viscoelastic and any other damping means.
- the frames may be formed from any castable or formable metal, although aluminum is preferred for its light- weight. Alternatively, engineering plastics both filled and unfilled may be substituted.
